HPI parts getting harder to find?

[KillerWabbit]

I've noticed HPI stuff is getting harder and harder to find on TowerHobbies. I'm going to be getting a Savage SS in a few weeks or so, so I'm just browsing around, but now the SS is out of stock and not available till "mid May." That will get pushed back to "late May" though, and then probably June. Some stuff I've ordered before, I can't get now, and what you can get, is "in limited quantities." It seems like HPI stuff is slowly disappearing.

Anyone else noticed, or have any idea why this is? Maybe the HPI guys are too busy riding around in their full size monster truck.

I haven't noticed it...not at a the LHS anyway. The LHS here still stocks just as many if not more parts than usual.

this is my second season but I think I am seeing a pattern here, see around spring all the parts to the most popular vehicles are out of stock. I think this is because the wheather get's nice and people are fixing their nitros to break them again.

Ha, fixing their nitros to break again. That makes sense though. Maybe it is just the simple fact that the supply can't meet the seasonal demand.
